CARPENTRY AND JOINERY AT A GLANCE

This is a more advanced programme which will develop your trade skills to a recognised industry standard, choosing between either site carpentry or bench joinery. To achieve this diploma you will be expected to build an extensive portfolio of evidence, and carry out timed practical tests that meet the higher levels of accuracy set down by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) specifications.

You will need to have an interest in construction and be able to cope with the physical requirements of working in this industry. The course is designed to prepare you for a career in construction so you will need to show you are a good team player and be flexible to carry out other duties when required.
